Hear From Our Students
Al Andaluse hosts students of every nationality, profession, and faith — united by the pursuit of Arabic mastery.
The skills class forced me not only to speak, but to start thinking in Arabic. Speaking with my host family and the Institute staff every day made me far more confident in my conversational ability.

I found Al Andaluse's curriculum unique in its ability to convey how and why the language works. The best part is having the opportunity to learn from such extraordinary Arabic instructors.

I actually had more opportunities to speak Arabic here than during my time in Cairo. Al Andaluse is a more effective program geared toward my specific goals as an Arabic learner.
